We’re having a lan party for the end of the semester. We’re playing League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, Brawlhalla, and Rocket League or any other game you want to play. You’re welcome to bring your own,especially if it’s Super Smash Bros. We’ll be in room 111 TMCB December 14th at 7:00 PM.

To edit your non-google fiber port forward settings, either type ‘ip route’ in linux, or ‘ipconfig’ in windows to find your default gateway, and go there with a browser (like firefox or chrome). Go to https://portforward.com/ if you need help.

How to find your world routable google ip addresss:
google ‘what is my ip’, or go to test-ipv6.com.

DNS Name:
To get a dns name duckdns.org gives them away for free.
You can use google dns as well. (google it)

HTTPS:
google letsencrypt

SSH Keys:
you should use ssh keys instead of passwords because it’s more secure, google ‘ssh keys’

Thursday Oct 27, 2016 we will be having a workshop on setting up your own home server. This could be for anything, a blog, a torrent server, a minecraft server, an owncloud server. Whatever you want to do, we probably have someone who can help. We will be going over things like DNS, how to port forward on home routers, apache, php, ssh, https, and letsencrypt.

This will be an interactive workshop so come with questions and we will do our best to answer them.

This Thursday we will be having Doran Barton from BlueHost giving a presentation on the history of Linux and Open Source Software. This will be something interesting whether you use Linux or not. There will be pizza provided by Utah Open Source.

Learn the use cases of the Git source code version control application. We will discuss how you can commit, revert, and branch your code so that you can protect your code. Discussion will also focus on how Git is used in the community as a distribution system and collaboration tool.

We will also have the opportunity to help SUSE test a beta release of their distro.
